[MUSIC PLAYING] AP News. I'm Ed Donahue. Democrats in Congress have been meeting privately. They're facing an extraordinary question. Whether to keep standing beside President Biden or pushing aside over concerns about his ability to win in November, here's the AP's soccer McGonah. In what was billed as a family discussion, one person in the room says the meeting of House Democrats was Dower. Number three Democrat Pete Aguilar says the goal was to listen, not dictate. There was no instruction to get on the same page. Tennessee's Steve Cohen says forget the same page. Democrats aren't even in the same book. Illinois's Mike Quigley is among six publicly urging the president to step down. He can't win. My colleagues need you to recognize that. But others like Benny Thompson and Qayasium Fume. Go Biden all the way. What did I say? Go Biden. Are backing the president. Jerry Nadler's privately said he should bow out. But he's not nominee, and we've got to elect him. On the Senate side, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced three questions about the president and gave the same answer three times. I'm with you. And White House spokesman Corinne Jean Pierre says the president's eager to move past this. He's ready. He's he's on fire. He's ready to go. Sagar Magony, Washington. Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder says the peer built by the US to bring much needed supplies into Gaza is going to be rebuilt tomorrow. My understanding is that CENTCOM intends to attentively re-anchor the peer this week. So we'll keep you updated on that, which will again enable the delivery of additional aid into Gaza. Officials say the peer will be used for several days, and then the plan is to pull it out permanently. An apparent Israeli airstrike on a school turned shelter in southern Gaza killed at least 25 people. Stocks finished the day mixed. The Dow was lower. This is AP News. The heat wave continues from coast to coast. And roughly everything in between also baking says National Weather Service Meteorologist Brian Jackson. There's the large heat dome out west. There's a trough in the middle. That's what drew barrel up through the center of the country. And then there's another ridge over the east coast. Death Valley, known for its heat, was 129 Monday. That's not even the all-time record. And it's attracting tourists like Drew Bell. You can feel it in your eyes. In the Portland area, county officials investigating four deaths as heat related, Dr. Richard Bruno. These are probably preventable deaths. He says in extreme heat staying cool is key.

The math speaks for itself. You have a 1 in 40 chance of being in a crash this year. But wearing a seatbelt reduces your risk of serious harm by 50%. In a rollover crash, more than three out of five deaths are from those who weren't wearing theirs. Seatbelts save lives. Over 370,000, in fact. Most passengers killed in crashes weren't buckled up. Nobody is above the laws of physics. Buckled up and shifting to safe. A message from the Colorado Department of Transportation.
